Claiborn Taylor's 1st Barn
Clabe built this barn in about the 1920's.
Look carefully and you will see
a little of the original red paint
that has not yet worn off.
This barn is located at
Blackwater, Laurel Co, KY,
about halfway between the
Sasser-Glass Cemetery and the
Dixon Sasser Cemetery - and
across the road from where once stood
the two-story house he built years earlier.

Claiborn Taylor's 2nd Barn
Clabe built this barn in the early 1930's.
He build it after he moved to Big Richland,
Knox Co, KY, to the old Wallace &Susan
(Jones)Gilbert place. The Gilbert and Blanton
cemeteries are on top of the mountain above
the barn. The old home of the Wallace Gilbert
family was on the other side of the road. The
ranchstyle house built by Troy &Esther(Taylor)
Cobb is still on the other side of the road.

List of Descendants

  • (1) Conrad Taylor
    b: 30 Jun 1898
    (dob shown incorrectly as 1896 on his tombstone and in the SSDI)
    d: 20 May 1966
    buried: Arlington National Cemetery
    (grave at: Jessup Drive; Grave 3157, Section 4)
    m: #1=MARY "GERTRUDE" ISLEY, in AR (later divorced)
    b: 11 Dec 1895
    m: #2=GRACE LNU
    b: 04 Jun 1903
    d: Aug 1975
    Conrad "Frank" Taylor
    was once a Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, participating in the
    incursion into Mexico, in 1917, led by General Perishing after
    Poncho Villa crossed the border to rob a bank in Columbus, NM;
    engaged in training troops in Tennessee during World War I, as
    his mother was so relieved to find out after he finally wrote
    to her; scheduled to be sent to Europe when the war ended;
    buried at Arlington National Cemetery
    (Jessup Drive; Grave 3157--Section 4);
    worked as a chef in a restaurant in Miami, FL,
    where he spent most of his life and is buried.
    He and Grace, his second wife, loved their beer and could not
    easily do without it, even when they were visiting in the dry
    territory of his birth and when they spent the summer of 1951
    in a little house on his youngest sister's farm at Tedders, KY.
    Conrad took the nickname "Frank" in Florida, and eventually
    came to be called that by some of of his relatives in Kentucky.
    Both his tombstone and the Social Security Death Index give the
    date of his birth as June 30, 1896, which possibly was a fictitious
    date he provided in order to join the army at an early age.
